Ohio State came calling and another ESPN Watch List junior put the Buckeyes in his top five. When Tim Hinton offered John Smith (Long Beach, Calif./Long Beach Poly) on Tuesday, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound athlete was taken aback. So taken aback, in...

In the latest -- and last -- big board, BuckeyeNation will try filling out Ohio State's 2013 recruiting class. Some names have flown off the radar quickly in an ever-changing landscape. In essence, there really are only five names left for the ...

The last 48 hours have been interesting. Ohio State target Dan Skipper flipped from Tennessee to Arkansas and Ryan Timmons said he wouldn't be coming to Columbus, Ohio, to make another unofficial visit. Such is the life of recruiting with natio...

Head out to La Mirada, Calif., and it is hard not to notice the latest junior wide receiver with an Ohio State offer. He's the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Matador with the numbers to match his large frame. The Buckeyes became the first major college pr...

"Chill." That was the word of an ESPN 150 running back to Ohio State fans about his upcoming official visit to Missouri. Ezekiel Elliott (St. Louis/John Burroughs) has been an Ohio State pledge since April 1, and the 6-foot, 205-pound running b...

The offer list for 2014 safety John Bonney (Houston/Lamar) continues to grow. And the most recent offer is a big one. The six-foot, 175-pound prospect received an offer from Ohio State on Friday, giving him 11 offers total. "It's great," Bon...

Urban Meyer's 2012 Christmas got a whole lot nicer Tuesday morning when Marcelys Jones (Cleveland/Glenville) committed to Ohio State. In doing so, the 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive tackle became the first commitment in the class of 2014 for the Bu...

If there's a spot for an offensive lineman in Ohio State's 2013 recruiting class, it's pretty evident who the Buckeyes are going after if it's not David Dawson (Detroit/Cass Tech). It became clearer today when UCLA commit Kenny Lacy (Phoenix/Mount...

The name Eric Glover-Williams (Canton, Ohio/McKinley) isn't a secret in many recruiting circles. After Friday, the 5-foot-10, 155-pound sophomore's legend got a lot bigger. He's in Columbus, Ohio, this weekend on an unofficial visit and he's there...

There must be something about Phoenix (Ariz.) Mountain Pointe High School that the Buckeyes like. Maybe it's the scenery. Just days after offering 2013 offensive tackle Kenny Lacy, the Buckeyes were at it again, but this time it was two offers to ...

The battle between Ohio State and Michigan isn't just a one-day war, even when it comes to someone who is currently committed to another school. Kenny Lacy (Phoenix/Mountain Pointe) was offered by Wolverines offensive line coach Darrell Funk on Tu...

For Donovan Munger (Shaker Heights, Ohio/Shaker Heights) it's been a rivalry month, so to speak. An ESPN 300 defensive tackle with several Division I suitors, he took in the Ohio State-Michigan game Saturday. It came on the heels of an official...

It didn't take long for Ohio State to offer ESPN Watch List junior Demarre Kitt (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek). In return, it didn't take long for the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Kitt to put the Buckeyes in his top three along with Clemson and USC. "I like ...

Think USC was left reeling after Max Redfield (left) decommitted this week? Not really. The Trojans appear to be zeroing in on Leon McQuay III (right). And then there's the nation's No. 1 recruit, Robert Nkemdiche, who decommitted Thursday. It's an o...
